Pack and ship automation is a top consideration when investigating ways to modernize and optimize order flow in a DC. When comparing your options, it is critical to invest in a solution that includes the right mix of automation technologies – including automatic weight and vision audit, carton dimension measurement software, and technology to automatically print and apply packing sheets and shipping labels.
As leaders in warehouse automation solutions, Numina Group’s automated warehouse systems focus on process improvements and automation that streamline the entire pick, pack, and ship operation.
Mislabeled Products – When labels are applied manually, human error becomes a risk, which can result in shipping the wrong product, shipping to the incorrect location, and lost inventory.
Delayed Shipments – Manual labeling processes take time, and in the age of same day delivery, time is money. As more customers expect fast delivery, slower processing speeds cause operations to miss carrier cut-off times. This can adversely affect your profit margin with cost overruns and eliminate your competitive edge because customers will opt for your competitors.
Employee Turnover – Repetitive, boring work tasks such as placing cartons on a scale, hand scanning, or keying data to print a label and place it on a box is boring. Repetitive tasks contribute to employee mistakes. A single shipment error can cost over $250 or more to correct and can result in a lost customer.
Numina’s family of advanced automatic print-and-apply labeling solutions maximize order throughput to lower labor costs and increase operational efficiency. Our flexible, scalable print and apply labeling solutions are used in both manufacturing and warehousing facilities to automate the application of product identification, retail and e-commerce compliance, carton content, packing slips, and shipping labels.
Medical product shipments, B2B, and many e-com B2C order fulfillment operation’s parcel shipments require both a packing sheet, shipping label, and customer specific label applied to the outside of full case and re-packed cartons. The labeling and carrier manifesting tasks when performed manually at a manifesting workstation requires the operator to:
Hand scan the order identifier barcode
Weigh, capture and enter the carton dimensions
Print the packing sheet
Fold the packing sheet
Place the document into a plastic pouch
Apply both the pack sheet pouch and the shipping label(s)
In a manual operation, the best operators can only process 1 to 2 cartons per minute. Replacing the above manual operation with a Numina Group in-motion high speed print and apply labeling conveyor line automates the scan-weigh dimensioning and application of the pack sheet or a removable packing slip and shipping label.
In comparison, a print-and-apply labeling system can eliminate the cost of 4 to 5 operators per shift, saving $28,000 to $30,000 a year per employee.
